Workplace Violence Incidents On The Rise
Unfortunately very disgruntled employees "Insiders" and others have resorted to workplace violence, in some cases resulting in the deaths of innocent coworkers.

 

According to the FBI, over the last few years there has been an increased frequency of workplace violence incidents

 

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has reported that approximately 2 million employees are victims of workplace violence each year. 18% of violent crimes are committed at the workplace, and roughly 800 workplace homicides occur each year. Between January 2009 and July 2015, there were 133 mass shootings in the workplace and shootings account for 78 % of all workplace homicides.

 

The NITSIG has complied information from various incidents and sources pertaining to the seriousness of workplace violence, in the Workplace Violence E-Magazine.

 

An organization that ignores the warnings signs could face legal action, a large settlement and possible fines.

Using A Collaborative Risk Management Approach To Address And Mitigate The Threats Of Active Shooters, Terrorism And Workplace Violence
Presented By
: Kiernan Group Holdings (KGH)

Presentation Team:

  • The Presentation Team consists of two KGH Senior Instructors: Danny Hickson, a retired Washington Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Commander and Director of Training, and Dorian DeSantis, a retired SWAT Officer, both of  whom were involved in responding to the Washington Navy Yard Shooting in September 2013.

  • A third member of the team is Dr. Joshua Sinai, a KGH Senior Analyst, and author of ASIS International’s publication “Active Shooter – A Handbook on Prevention” (2nd Edition, May 2016).

  • A fourth Team member is Jeff Fuller, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Lt.

This includes threat and risk analysis followed by risk mitigation steps. The presentation will also discuss a number of processes and tools, including online collaborative tools, to support risk analysis and risk management efforts.  Also discussed will be how risk mitigation strategies and measures support compliance with federal and industry regulations and standards.
 

 

 

Topic:
Active Shooter Response System
Presented By: NEP3
 

Presentation Overview:

  • NEP3 will discuss the Virtual Command technology solution for "Live" Active Shooter situations. The system connects the protected site to a E911 center via a Virtual Private Network. At the E 911 Center, there will be two or more tactical work stations that feature a Graphic User Interface (GUI) that provides attacker alarm notifications, and real-time actionable intelligence (Electronic Sensor Data & Video), to locate the attacker (s), acquire subject description and then to track the subjects.

 

  • A unique feature of Virtual Command is the ability to enable to "Countermeasures" at the GUI to slow down or cause the Intruder abort his attack. Live demonstrations have shown an attacker can be located, tracked and “Virtually  Engaged” within 90 seconds. This corrects the major advantage a Shooter has today. This is the 3-6 minutes of unimpeded shooting prior to the arrival of Law Enforcement.

 

  • These Countermeasures when activated can completely obscure the shooter's vision and cause disorientation. This buys the critical minutes needed to get Law Enforcement into the building already knowing exactly where the shooter is located.

 

  • The Virtual Command System was featured on the NBC Today Show, as providing the ability to create the Safest Schools In America. (Video)

Note:
The State of Indiana has just approved a law to set standards by which all public schools will be protected. The Indiana Sheriffs spearheaded the effort to pass legislation that would recommend all schools be protected by an Emergency Response System that would connect schools to a E911 Center for alert, actionable intelligence, and the capability to remotely fire countermeasures. These capabilities are synonymous to those in Virtual Command.

 

 

 

Topic:
Employee Continuous Risk Monitoring
Presented By
: Endera
 

Presentation Overview:

  • Endera provides an affordable employee continuous evaluation and risk alert security platform. Endera addresses the Post-Hire security gap by providing government and private sector businesses with automated risk alerts paired with a security analytics platform.

  • Endera scans over 26,000 federal, state, and county data sources to proactively alert organizations to potential high-risk individuals within their workforce for further investigation. Endera monitors for "Risk Alerts" pertaining to a variety of different attributes including criminal, civil, sanctions, / professional licenses, etc.

  • An organization will receive alerts in real time when a potential negative record has been discovered about an employee. All monitoring is continuous and organizations have complete control over what they want monitored.

  • Endera leverages external behavior data to expose Insider Threats and applies risk scoring and predictive analytics to help proactively identify and prevent potential workplace fraud, theft and workplace violence.

  • A large global airline enrolled 60,000 employees into the Endera system. Endera detected over 1,771 incidents of critical concern to the airline in just  the first 120 days. This included over 100 bookings and arrest alerts that called for further investigations.
